Unable to visit https sites and other strange problems.

nothing further to add about problem. s/w and h/w details using zonealarm 10.0.241.000 with xp professional 2002 SP3 intel core 2 duo e8400 @3.00ghz 3gb ram.

HI,
Creating a new user with the username test still receives the same treatment.
In the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences - Advanced. Click: Change Settings. That will prompt the System Preferences / Network pane.
Make sure none of the boxes on the left under: *Select a proxy server to configure* are not selected.
If proxies aren't the issue, and it's the same in all accounts, boot from your install disc, run Disk Utility to verify and if necessary, repair any errors on the startup disk, help here for that.

  • Log in and other strange problems

    I have run this computer since '03 with no problems. I am using 10.3.9. At start up, I started hanging on the blue screen. I discovered if I disconnect my ethernet line to the internet, I was starting just fine. This is still basically the situation. I have run permissions and disk utility as well as single user repairs. No real problems found. Soon after this problem, another one creeps in - if I try to move a window, I get latent images of the window all across the screen - and it has now started freezing on me.
    Without more lengthy explanations, does anyone have a clue?
    Thanks in advance,
    Gary

    Hello! Several things such as if the system prefs might be set to look for a network disk at startup and an internet line that may be flakey or the disk drive directory being corrupt. I've recently been affected with a flakey dsl line and noticed that it was slowing down when it started network services. The telephone company said their line signal was good and strong so it wasn't there problem. I kept trying to tinker with my settings but finally gave up and finally after a month it's settled down. Diskwarrior is a must have Mac utility for directory structure maintenance. Tom

  • Firefox unable to load https sites

    Since Monday I have been unable to load up any secure site (e.g. that starts with "https://....") in Firefox.
    It says it's loading, but sits there for a few seconds and then comes up with a "Problem loading page" screen.
    The same sites open fine in IE.
    These sites worked fine in FF until this week. I haven't changed any FF settings, I have cleared all cache, done a complete reinstall of FF - all to no avail.
    I have no addons, and all plugins are disabled.
    I am running Windows 7 Professional.
    Help!
    == Operating system ==
    Windows 7 Professional

    PS. There are no firewall / proxy settings blocking HTTPS sites.

  • Unable to open https sites. can open when using firefox in safe mode.

    Mozilla Firefox has been an exceptional browser, however in the last update I have experienced problems when trying to open https sites. They will not open and then time out. I do not have this problem when using Internet explorer. I have contacted customer service at the problem sites, and they have said other customers have also experienced this problem. I have gone into options and have changed various settings to see if this would solve the problem. It didn't, your response would be appreciated.. Please note if I use firefox in safe mode I can access these sites? My E-mail as follows: [email protected]

    Did you perhaps install an extension to open sites with https
    # Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press "Enter"
    # Use Find ("Ctrl+F") to look for '''https'''
    One such extension is "HTTPS-Everywhere"
    As you probably know Firefox Safe Mode disables extensions and some preferences.

  • Application to unblock sites and other apps

    Hi Guys, I hava a problem and I need help please
    here in my country they block many sites and many apps like  also at work the IT is blocking some sites also.
    is there any application to unblock sites and other apps??? 
    I have a friend has a Sony Ericson Mobile with android OS and he has an app called orbot and it works perfectly.
    My mobile is: Nokia C6-00
    thanks a lot guys
    Moderator: Changed the size of your font and picture, as they were unecessarily big.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hmm, Orbot is a native Tor client for Android.  I did some looking, and there doesn't appear to be a Tor client for Symbian, native or Java-based.  There is a version for the Nokia N900, but its Maemo OS is built from Linux (just like Android), which likely made porting much easier.  So for now there are no Symbian solutions...until somebody writes one.
    On the other hand, Tor is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux computers.  See https://www.torproject.org .  With Tor installed on such a computer, you could then use WiFi on your C6 to utilize its features.  I hope that helps a little.

    unfortunately the do_not_trust certificates might be a sign of unwanted software present on your pc that is intercepting secure network traffic. please go into the system control panel and uninstall programs like BrowserSafeguard, BrowserSafe, SafeGuard or other software that sounds suspicious and didn't get installed by you intentionally.

  • HI i have macbook pro with OSX 10.8. I am facing typical problem with Wi- Fi , in school wi-fi it does'nt connects to http sites and connects only https  but in home wi-fi it connects to all all http and https sites. How fix this problem as I am new this

    HI i have macbook pro with OSX 10.8. I am facing typical problem with Wi- Fi , in school wi-fi it does'nt connects to http sites and connects only https as no security/proxy settings done but in home wi-fi it connects to all  http and https sites. How to fix this problem as I am new this operating system. Please any one help me in this as I have installed Delicious Library which is not working in school becoz it searches amzon http site.

    I would imagine that at school, you're required to connect through an HTTP proxy.
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
    If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. Enter the proxy settings given to you by the network administrator. Click OK and then Apply.
    You may wish to create separate network locations for home and school. See the built-in help for instructions.

  • I'm affraid I lost my "Word" document of 30 pages. I can see only stars,squares and other strange figures. How can I recover this? Please I need help!!!

    I need help! My daughter is busy with her final studyprogram. Her "word" document changed into stars and other strange figures. Is there a possibility to recover this. I hope someone can help her!!!! thanks jvdharst

    Are you using the latest version of MS Word?  It’s possible you can restore the corrupt file from the last saved version or the automatically saved version.  Have you tried that?  MS Word uses a folder called Autorecover to store temporary versions of your file.  Hopefully there’s a good version in that folder.  Use Finder to search for Autorecover if needed.

    can other people upload pictures to my iweb site and other people comment or rate them? if so how?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you use a MobileGallery from iPhoto to house your photos and videos you can set it up in the settings so visitors can upload items to the gallery via email.

    You can them embed the gallery in an iWeb page like this: MobileMe Galleries and Quicktime Movies.
    I've not tried emailing a photo to a gallery so can't comment on how well it works.
    For photo pages or album pages in iWeb visitors can add comments and attachments, photos, which other visitors can view. How they are added I don't know. Here's what the iWeb Help says about that:
    +*About visitor comments and attachments*+

  • I am using my Ipad on a remote craftshow site and am having problems with battery lasting 8 hrs. Can I use a 12v rv battery to recharge it or atleast maintain the charg over longer periods of time? I have a dc adapter. thanks

    You should be able to use the battery if you get a car type charger which recharges mobile devices.
    The full size iPads use a 10-12W charger, whereas the mini uses a 5W charger. Many car chargers only supply 5W. But at 5W, the car charger should give you some extra time on your iPad. It would be best to use a 10-12W car charger.

  • Computer slower and a few other strange problems since upgrading to SL

    Hi all,
    About a month ago, I upgraded my mid-2009 MBP to SL. I'm now on 10.6.1. Ever since the upgrade, my computer's been somewhat slower than it was when I ran Leopard (although many people I know say their machines are faster). I did restart several times at one point, and that seemed to speed it up, although it still experiences delays I didn't have before. I've also had a bunch of strange issues:
    1) Safari is most noticeably slow, especially when using something like Top Sites on Safari 4. I alleviated this problem somewhat by setting new tabs to open a blank window rather than Top Sites, but even so, Safari is generally slower, gives me 'pinwheels' often, and also is less stable.
    2) The other day, I restarted to find that all fonts except system fonts had been mysteriously deactivated. As a designer, I rely heavily on my many fonts, which I manage using Linotype FontExplorer.
    3) Today, I opened my computer up after having it sleeping in a backpack, and it had turned off. It was not out of battery; it had just turned off for no apparent reason.
    4) Judging by Activity Monitor, RAM is being used somewhat more heavily by the system, contrary to the advertisements of a 'lighter' footprint for SL as compared to Leopard. However, according to Activity Monitor (which I check frequently), the processor does not appear to be getting taxed any more heavily than under Leopard, which makes the sluggishness more inexplicable.
    5) Yesterday, I could not get my computer to recognize my Time Machine backup disc. After restarting, it worked, but this is a pain.
    I appreciate any advice I can get. Does anyone else have similar problems or solutions? Or is the general consensus that these are SL bugs that Apple will work out by about 10.6.4 or so?
    Thanks,
    Nathan

    I began this thread awhile ago, but the essence of it is that I had a number of strange problems, although mostly my computer was just slower, when upgrading from Leo to SL.
    I've now wiped my HD and re-installed SL. It seems faster, although there are still a few issues:
    1) iWork (Pages, Numbers) has very weird coloring. All the text looks light blue and/or cyan, and I can't fix it.
    2) Although initially Safari worked great, lately it's been going back to its habits of being slow and showing strange things like chopping up the 'Top Sites' view, i.e. rendering it in an off way.
    3) Adobe CS3 will not install properly. I get them loaded up, but when I try to launch a program, I get an error that says "licensing for this product has stopped working". I cannot get to the 'activate' page, even though I uninstalled and deactivated CS3.
    In the interest of full disclosure, I did restore my home account after clean installing SL-- maybe I should have brought the files over folder by folder rather than bringing back my whole home folder with its settings? I wonder if I accidentally brought over Adobe's FLEXnet folder too.
    Also, does anyone know if Adobe CS3 can cause these problems with Safari and other programs? It just seems that the whole machine was slower after installing CS3, even though I wasn't running the programs.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Nate

  • Unable to open https: sites

    Unable to open https: sites

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.<br />
    Also make sure that the firewall doesn't intercept secure connections via port 443.

  • I have an iPad2 I need adobe flash player or simaler 2down load some of my craft sites and other sites that need adobe how can I get them

    I Have an iPad 2and need adobe flash player or something that works the same 2use on some of my sites I use as the iPad2 doesnt support adobe what can I use

    No Flash for iPads, iPhones, or iPods
    Here's why there's is no Flash available for iDevices or other mobile devices. Adobe was unable to provide a product that was suitable to the needs of battery powered mobile devices used for Internet browsing. Existing Flash technology used too much memory, ate battery life, and was buggy. Simply put Flash did not work well on mobile devices.
    Apple's Steve Jobs led the escape from Flash dependency when Apple introduced the iPhone, and later introduced the iPad. There was a hue and cry over the omission. Time proved Jobs was right on target.
    So this is why there is no Flash for your iPhone or iPad or iPod nor for most SmartPhones. Flash has been abandoned by many sites in favor of supported technologies such as HTML5 or by providing their own custom app.
    Here is Steve Jobs official comment on his momentous decision to omit Flash from iDevices: Steve Jobs on Flash.
    Here is Adobe's later announcement to cease development of Flash for mobile devices: Adobe on Mobile Flash. Adobe is not providing Flash for Apple iOS devices, and they no longer provide Flash for any other cellular phones. Flash is officially gone.
    Now, you are not necessarily out on a limb. There are some apps that can display some Flash, but don't count on there ability to display anything using Flash.
    A sample of Apps that can display some Flash content:
      1. Puffin
      2. SkyFire
      3. Photon Flash
      4. Browse2Go
      5. Swifter
    Also, note that many sites that use Flash provide their own app for accessing their material. So check with your favorite sites and find out if "there's an app for that."

  • My apple ID is not working with Facetime or Messages, but works on the apple site and other applications. Why is this happening?

    My Messages and Facetime applications say my apple ID or password is incorrect when it works for other applications including icloud, and works on the apple id website. I have reinstalled Mountain Lion upon request of an apple advisor but there is still no luck and other apple IDs work on the applications. Why is this happening?

    Yes, you will need to call Apple at this point for further assistance.
